FT Series

BSS Couplers – FT Series from F-Tive’s, are parallel-threaded splice systems that assure, providing continuity and structural integrity to reinforced concrete complying with the requirements of MS146: 2014 Grade B500B. FT Series spliced rebars behave as continuous lengths of rebars by providing “full strength” intension, compression and stress reversal applications.

Destruction Results

FT Series Threaded Rebar and BBS Coupler are jointed together
1) Tensile Test
2) Elongation Test

Protruding Threaded Rebars

1. Rebars section from factory
2. Rebars end squeezing & swaging process
3. Rebars edge and surface processing
4. Form the threads by special designed circular rolling dies

BSS COUPLER

The Unique Parallel-Thread Design

The BSS Couplers High system, Safety, Parallel-Threaded design provides ease of installation, consistent performance and durability. It also has higher tensile strength than lap splicing and provides full load transfer with the slimmest and shortest coupler possible.

For applications where couplers need to be cast in the concrete. BSS protection PE End-Cap keeps the couplers free from concrete or grout debris. All FT Series threaded rebars are protected by a PE End-Cap to prevent thread damage during transportation and handling.

BBS Couplers Yield Tensile Strength

are stronger than the rebars.

BBS Couplers Were Developed

for the coupling, any length of rebars for T10mm to T50mm.

BBS Couplers Connection System

is available in many different variations, like for example: Standard Couplers, Reducer Coupler, Weldable Couplers, Terminator Couplers, etc.

Splice Method

Type A
Consisting of 2 standard threads and 1 coupler

Type B
Consisting of 1 standard thread, 1 coupler and 1 extended thread
Type C
Consisting of 1 standard thread and 1 coupler. 1 extended thread + lock nut length and 1 lock-nut

Features & Advantages

Installation Advantages
  • Takes approximately several turns to engage.
  • Prevents cross-threading.
  • Fastest system to install.
  • Splice inspection is quick and easy.
  • Major Advantages
  • Substantial direct savings to the builders.
  • Near ZERO rebar wastage.
  • Cutting down rebar usage by 30% -50%
  • No congestion problem.
  • No cranking of rebar is needed.
  • Improve structural integrity.
  • Enhance construction speed.
  • If incorporated in the design, column size can be reduced to optimize floor space.
  • Economical
  • No special skills and reduces labour costs
  • Accelerates construction schedules for optimum cost and efficiency.
  • Saves valuable crane time.
  • Reduces material costs because less rebar is used.
